Notz: My other fic 'Random Insanity: DBZ Style' will be suspended until I can come up with an idea for the next chapter. This fic will continue for a while yet. I mean it's only the second chapter! I'm thinking about possibilities for what Goten would probably call the 'Bad Person', what Videl would call a 'public menace', and who Gohan would wish was as 'easy' as Cell...

Chapter 2
The Chapter after Chapter 1
Gohan whirled in midair to face Videl. She had the smirk on her face that she usually saved for 'Saiyaman'.
"Hi, Miss Videl."
"Saiyaman, I didn't know you had a tail."
Gohan craned his neck and looked over his back. He saw that his tail was no longer around his waist, but was dangling in the air, waving occasionally. **Oh, shit...**
He tried to think of a lie. His face was obviously betraying him because Videl had an evil grin plastered on her face.
"There's this guy at my school – Son Gohan. He has a belt seemingly made out of the same stuff your tail is." She evidently knew – or at least thought – that she had him cornered.
A couple hundred feet up, concealed by a small puffy cloud, Goten stood on Kinto'un [1]. His Saiyajin hearing was enhanced by his super Saiyajin transformation. At the moment, he was heading to CC to sleep over. He stopped when he heard the commotion below. His brother was too preoccupied with that big yellow thing [2] to notice Goten's ki. Even Goten thought that was strange and he leaned over the edge of Kinto'un in order to get a better view.
Meanwhile, Gohan came up with an excuse. "Uh... It's an accessory! Yeah, an... accessory..."
Videl sweatdropped and Goten almost fell off of Kinto'un. He nudged the cloud downwards and stopped beside his brother.
"Don't be silly Niichan [3] – that's your tail."
"GOTE- uh... I mean, otouto [4], don't sneak up on me like that!"
Goten was puzzled at why his brother didn't call him by his name. He suspected it had something to do with the person in the big yellow thing.
"Niichan, who's that?" He pointed at Videl, who was staring wide-eyed at the little golden-haired boy who was sitting on a cloud.
"Uh... that's a friend. Shouldn't you be heading to Trunks'?"
"Ok, but I have to call Kaasan [5] and tell her you have a girlfriend." He giggled and zoomed off.
Gohan stared speechless at the rapidly disappearing cloud. "GOTEN!!!"
"So your brother's name is 'Goten', is it?"
"Yes... NO! ...yes?" Gohan sweatdropped.
"That's funny, because Son Gohan has a little brother named 'Goten' as well."
Gohan knew he had been checkmated [6]. He raised his hands in defeat. "I give up Videl, but first you have to explain to me this obsession of finding me out."
"It's simple, really. I can get one of two things out of it. Or both if I'm in a bad mood." She reached out of the copter and grabbed Gohan by the collar. "Gohan, your first choice is to teach me how to fly."
**That's all?? All that trouble to learn how to fly? This girl is strange... but she is kind of cute when she's mad... Waitaminute, SHUT UP!!** Gohan whacked himself (mentally) out of his thoughts. "What's my other choice?"
Videl took on a look that would make Vegeta jealous. "If you don't, every newspaper on the continent will have your face on the front page"
Gohan gulped visibly. **It's like she can read my mind. How did she know publicity was-** He was shaken by Videl, who still had a grip on his collar.
"Well?"
"How can I trust you?"
"You will, unless you want your secret blown.
Gohan had to admit defeat. "Ok, when do you want to start?"
"This weekend would be nice."
"We have a field trip."
"The trip ends Sunday morning, and we have Monday off."
"How about you come to my house and we'll start after lunch.
"Fine. There are other questions too, but I'll make you a deal. In school, I won't bother you at all, but on Sunday you have to answer all of my questions."
Gohan considered this for a few seconds. It was inevitable that she would ask about his family, and how he was so strong and bulletproof. However, the fear of the publicity he had been trying to avoid got the better of him.
"Deal." They shook hands.
Fot the first time (probably not the first, so correct me if I'm wrong) Videl smiled in Gohan's presence, if you don't count smirking and evil grins. Gohan was lost in that message until Videl spoke again.
"Well, I gotta be going. If I'm out too long my dad will think I'm out with some boy." She rolled her eyes. "Well, see you tomorrow."
"Yeah, and one more thing-" Gohan said, backing away from the copter, "you should smile more often." Gohan almost clamped a hand around his mouth, but for some reason his tail was wrapped around his wrist.
"You think?" Videl's mouth widened into a grin and she sped off.
Gohan waved after her and blasted towards home. He could feel Goten's and Trunks' kis spiking a good distance away, along with Vegeta's. (a/n: guess what that means...) A little to his left, Piccolo's ki was approaching.
End Chapter 2... A little cheesy, perhaps. r+r
A/n: Hungry...must...eat...
